A Curiosity... I read from man page: "-X   Send the specified command
to a running screen session."

Which are these "specific command" that I can send to screen?

I'm no expert on "screen", but, after some experimentation...

It appears to me that the "specified command" is one of the commands listed in the CUSTOMIZATION section of the "screen" manual page.  Some easy examples are:

$ screen -S aSessionName -X quit    # Quit the specified screen session.

$ screen -S aSessionName -X display   # Show a table listing of all currently connected displays.

$ screen -S aSessionName -X exec /bin/sh    # Start a new shell in the specified session's current screen-window.
